Here at It's The Flash Pack, we have a love for all things photographic. Whether that's developing new immersive photo experiences such as the Freezus Curve or just appreciating the charm of the old fashioned photo booth - we love capturing the moment. We've touched on our infatuation with the old school Woolworth's photo booths here but now, it's time to look into the spark of our obsession even further, with a brief history of how it all started…
We have to give credit to the pioneers of 'do-it-yourself' photography, who brought the medium to the mainstream, made it instant and allowed it to be accessible to everyone. This phenomenon has only grown, exploding in the 21st century with the birth of social media, in particular, Instagram. We can now snap an image, edit its appearance and upload it in a matter of seconds. But where's the magic in that?
Despite these advances in technology, we are still obsessed with the vintage 'look' of old school photo booth pictures. Smartphone apps offer endless options of edits and filters to make your digital photos taken in 2016, look like they were taken in the summer of '69 with a Pentax 67.
The photo booth as we know it, was invented by Siberian immigrant, Anatol Josepho, with the first 'Photomaton' photo booth appearing on Broadway, New York in 1925. Many imitated the concept of a coin operated photo booth and soon, DIY photography had become an international success!
See here Mr Josepho in his Photomaton, striking a pose with Timmy the terrier.
The photo booth was given the official 'cool factor' in 1953 by Hollywood star, Fred Astaire in the film; The Band Wagon (link). One scene saw the heartthrob, Astaire (known for his moves) dancing inside the booth and sitting down for a photo - all in time with the music - hunky! From this appearance, the photo booth had secured its place as a fixture in popular culture and it never looked back!
Fast forward to 2001, the cult French film (and hipster classic), Amélie, uses the photo booth as the heart of the film's storyline. Amélie uses passport style pictures taken in a métro station photo booth to communicate a message to a man she has fallen in love with.
Now, in an era where nothing is secret and we can view snippets of each other's daily lives from a click of a button, it is not so unusual to view the intimate moments of the celebrity world.
Kim Kardashian, the self-proclaimed 'selfie queen' has capitalised on this intrusive obsession by posting daily updates to her 68.8 million Instagram followers allowing anyone and everyone to have an insight into her reality. However, this never used to be the case…
Back in the good old days, we didn't have the same exposure to the day to day lives of the rich and famous. There was an air of mystery around the 'IT' crowd. Therefore, viewing a photo booth picture of Elvis, Marilyn Monroe, John Lennon, JFK and Jackie O feels like an insight into an intimate and secret moment. These personal photos humanise these icons. Just like us, they would have stepped behind the velvet curtain, inserted their spare change and waited for the flash to go, excited to see the result.
85 years after the first appearance of the automated photo booth, our first venture started back in 2010 and 6 years later, It's The Flash Pack has established itself as the industry leaders. We understand that the spontaneous and intimate photo booth moment holds a special place in our culture and so, we decided to give it the recognition it deserves.
To help you inject some Hollywood glamour into your event or just to recreate those nostalgic moments from your teens, we designed the Vintage studio set-up and the Retro booth.
The 'razzle dazzle' of your event, the Vintage studio set-up will transport you back to the Golden Age.
Should you want to keep it real - our Retro booth is our nod to the old school Berlin Photoautomat street booths.
Go for black and white like JFK and Jackie O or we'll capture you in colour, should you see yourself more as a 00's Queen B. We've put The Flash Pack spin on this one though - you can honour the history of the medium and take home your passport style prints to keep forever, or go digital to get those social media 'likes'. Whatever your preference, It's The Flash Pack believe the classic photo booth is iconic and it's here to stay.

Well, the answer is it depends: it depends on the severity of the fire and the duration of the fire. Your trees will likely bounce back quickly if fire intensity was low and if fire exposure was minimal; however, I can't guarantee your "browned" branches will reflush with green needles.
Therefore, the only way to accurately assess the damage caused by this grass fire is to contact a local professional forester or a local certified arborist for an on-site assessment.

Surely you remember sitting down and having a flick through either an album or a few printed photographs of your parents on their wedding day. The joy it brings to your face seeing them all dressed up, looking young and very trendy (or not so trendy in some cases he he he). My parents didn't get a wedding album and only have one photograph from their wedding day. So for me it's so important that my wedding photos are shared with my family.
Being in the digital world nothing lasts for ever, all you can do is to make sure you back up your digital files from year to year and hope that they will still open 50 years from now. Lets face it, Facebook has made us lazy. We used to get so much joy out of printing our images. It's so important that you print your wedding photos or put them in an album. Having the Digital files is great, but having a stunning album is better.
Either way I hope you can see the importance of having an album or some prints on the wall. Let's get printing … Much Love Jodie

Maintaining positive relationships with families of origin can be a struggle for many children living in out-of-home care. But for the majority of children, contact with a parent, sibling or relative is not just possible – it is critical to healthy development and the ability to heal from trauma.
A new project is pioneering change in this complex area of care, by developing and trialling an enhanced model of contact between children and their parents. kContact is a joint initiative between the Australian Catholic University, the University of Melbourne, and a number of practice partners including MacKillop Family Services.
The study is based on the recognition that contact can help increase the chances of family reunification and can support children to understand what has happened to them. The enduring connection formed with parents, siblings and extended family is a key part of children being able to develop a positive sense of identity. However when poorly managed, it can be very disruptive and result in re-traumatisation, triggering negative past experiences.
kContact was conceived to help families manage this difficult issue, and to develop best-practice guidelines on how to manage family contact.
The three-year study followed children in care and their parents in Victoria and the ACT. The participants trialled the new model of contact, and considerations for practice were developed based on a study of their experiences. These considerations were a key topic of discussion at a recent workshop attended by the research team and practice partners.
The model of contact emphasises proper planning of visitations, from thinking about the purpose of the contact to managing expectations of children and relatives.
Dr Robyn Miller, CEO of MacKillop Family Services addressed the workshop, discussing the importance of contact in helping young people to heal from trauma and develop positive relationships with their families.
"How can you help children remain emotionally connected to their families despite a physical separation, and form some sort of coherent narrative about their experiences? If we're thinking about healing from trauma, all the literature talks about the person being able to have a sense of understanding and meaning about what's happened to them," she said.
The importance of hope and meaning were key themes of Robyn's presentation, encouraging participants to reflect on how we can hold on to hope for children as they work towards healthy futures.
"If we can support our case workers to hold all the complexity, then we are doing a real service to children and they will have a much greater chance of being able to build a sense of meaning and hope about their families and their lives."
MacKillop is strengthening our focus on support around practice to achieve the best outcomes for children and young people in our care. Connection between children and their families is critical to these positive outcomes. As part of this we have expanded the number of Principal Practitioners in our Clinical Services team.
These roles support frontline practice with complex cases, assist with the continued integration of Sanctuary and lead professional development in areas such as group supervision and reflective practice.

MacKillop Family Services acknowledges the Traditional Custodians and their Elders in each of the Communities where we work.

To give your corners a lift, apply from the inner corner of the eye to the brow bone. For a wide-eyed look, apply to the inner corners of your eyes. For royal results, apply after your other makeup as the finishing, flawless touch.

Reviews & Questions
can i use it on my concealer? i was wondering if i can use it with concealer
Apply it to the inner & outer corners of each eye and blend for a wide-awake look. For best results, apply as the final step after you've applied other makeup.
Eye bright vs. high brow? Hi! I am really interested in purchasing either high brow or eye bright - I just don't know witch one. I want something that I can use in my inner corners, under my brows and in my waterline, to brighten everything up. Witch one will be best for all of those things? And will either of then even last in my waterline. And lastly does either of then have shimmer? I really hope you will help, as I'm kind of torn. Thanks! - Anna :-)
I think this pencil is to use inside the eye line. It's soft and lovely, I don't notice a shimmer but just that my eyes look wider and fresher.
Hi: Neither High Brow nor Eye Bright have any real shimmer (although High Brow Glow has a little shimmer to it, in case you're interested in it), to begin with. High Brow goes under your eyebrows, both as an eyelift and to highlight your brows, whereas you can use Eye Bright for your waterline if you like. Eye Bright also goes in the inner and the outer corners of your eyes, to give luminosity to them. Draw an arrowtip in the outer corner of your eye and apply a little more in the inner corner of your eye and then blend. As you can see, both products have different uses. It depends on what you really want to highlight.
I need to buy a sharpener for my eye bright pencil, where can I purchase one?
The product is very good .
Our dual sharpener is perfect for sharpening your eye bright pencil. You can purchase it on our site here http://www.benefitcosmetics.com/product/view/dual-pencil-sharpener

The revelation of Shellshock hit the internet by storm yesterday. The latest major vulnerability, on the scale of Heartbleed, revealed that every Unix based OS for almost the last 2 decades has been exploitable. The Config Backup for F5 appliance, being based on Centos 6.4/6.5, has vulnerable bash versions and should be patched immediately.
Note: CVE-2014-6271 is only partially resolved. Redhat (aka the upstream vendor) is working on a patch for the new vulnerability CVE-2014-7169 that will soon after reach the CentOS repository. When this is done you will need to run the update again. However, run the update now as it will help fix the more serious issues! The completey fixed version is 4.1.2-15.el6_5.2
To patch your appliance login via an SSH session or the VMWare console with the "console" username and run the following command –
sudo yum -y update bash
After yum retrieves the update database, you should eventually see something like this –
================================================================================ Package Arch Version Repository Size ================================================================================ Updating: bash x86_64 4.1.2-15.el6_5.2 updates 905 k Transaction Summary ================================================================================ Upgrade 1 Package(s) Total download size: 905 k Downloading Packages: bash-4.1.2-15.el6_5.2.x86_64.rpm | 905 kB 00:00 Running rpm_check_debug Running Transaction Test Transaction Test Succeeded Running Transaction Updating : bash-4.1.2-15.el6_5.2.x86_64 1/2 Cleanup : bash-4.1.2-15.el6_5.1.x86_64 2/2 Verifying : bash-4.1.2-15.el6_5.2.x86_64 1/2 Verifying : bash-4.1.2-15.el6_5.1.x86_64 2/2 Updated: bash.x86_64 0:4.1.2-15.el6_5.2 Complete!
If you run the command and see the following you will need to clear to clear the yum metadata.
No Packages marked for Update
To clear the yum metadata you will need to run this command –
sudo yum clean metadata
Then re-run the update command –
sudo yum -y update bash

Writing poetry is extremely rewarding for me. It allows me to express my thoughts and feelings about all sorts of topics: nature, relationships, contemporary issues, and even abstract ideas. Yet, it's also challenging. Even for someone who loves to write, it takes a great deal of time to write one poem. You have to take rhythm, shape, vocabulary, and other techniques into account – and most importantly, capture the reader's imagination and emotions. Think of it as rubbing your belly and patting your head at the same time, in a literary sense.

Forbes released their "30 under 30 2015" list this week, and it consists of ten hip hop influences that are dominating the game with their music, production, and various contributions – including Big Sean and Dj Mustard. Check them out:
Jhene Aiko: At 26 years-old, the Los Angeles native has risen to fame, gaining the likes of many all over the country for her soulful and vulnerable lyrics.
Azealia Banks: It took some time for this 23 year-old New Yorker to grow on us, but after witnessing her passion for black empowerment – we couldn't resist showing the independent rapper some love.
Big Sean: I'm still not convinced that he's 26 years-old, but it's no denying that the G.O.O.D. music artist has skills. #IDFWU
Chance the Rapper: I'm not as familiar with Chance, aside from his features with Childish Gambino – but he has to be doing something right. At just 21 years-old, the rapper makes the list, boasting over 880,000 downloads of his mixtape, and two sold-out tours.
Hit-Boy: The 27 year-old G.O.O.D. music producer responsible for "N**** in Paris," and Beyonce's "Bow Down" clearly has a sound that has gained the respect of major icons in the industry.
Mike Will Made It: It's hard to believe that the Atlanta-based producer is only 25 years-old. With a resume that consists of Rihanna's "Pour It Up," and Ciara's "Body Party," we know exactly why Forbes placed him on this list.
Dj Mustard: Another young'n that has gained recognition from his ability to dominate the billboard charts. The 24 year-old, Los Angeles native was responsible for all your favorite tracks this year including "2 On," "Paranoid," "Na-Na" and "My N****."
A$AP Rocky: A relationship with Chanel Iman helped this 26 year-old gain exposure in the fashion industry, including a major shoot with DKNY.
Kai Wright: A name that you may not be familiar with, the 29 year-old executive serves as a Vice President for Diddy's Revolt TV – of which he led event planning for their first annual music conference. Held in Miami, the conference attracted over 800 guests under his leadership.
Anthony Saleh: At 28 years-old, the CEO of Emagen and manager of Nas has assisted projects for Nicki Minaj and Lady Gaga.
Forbes "30 under 30" is described as "a blend of country, rock, electronic, hip-hop and pop—with a shot of disruptive entrepreneurialism." The full list can be viewed here.

I was wondering what that was called as I'd wanted to ask about it myself. The current one looks like notation for a square root. If so, it's a radical change. ;)

Yep, I asked Tom to restore the old file, which gets over-written by the vBulletin favicon when software upgrades are installed.

Oh, thank goodness! …the sleepless nights I've suffered, the constant wondering, not knowing. The very thought of my little favey lost in the unfeeling cold among the infinite ether of ones and zeroes within the treacherous web of the internets was almost too much to bear – unwanted, unloved. But alas, all that is important now is that it is home, safe in the mothering embrace of its family. It completes me. :)

Great Smoky Mountain Morning
Great Smoky Mountain Morning
Location: Great Smoky Mountains, Tennessee
Print Run: Only 100 Prints Available
For me, this was the best way to start the morning. The fresh mountain air that only the wilderness could provide with a nice chill. That early morning sun peaking through the clouds rolling over the mountainsides. The grand view of a seemingly endless forest that stretches for miles, blanketing the terrain. These national parks are truly America's greatest treasures, and this view is something no one could ever forget.

As regular readers may be aware, one of the things that does not really hit the spot with me is brewers messing about with beer. In my opinion, for what its worth, beer should be made of a combination of malt and hops, and things such as vanilla, mint, sage and chilli are better left in the kitchen. This weekend though, the more adventurous amongst you can try out a couple of attempts at mixing different tastes with beer and see what the brewers have come up with.
Visitors to The Grove can sample Thornbridge 'Summer Ale', nothing unusual about that you may say, until you read the pump clip and discover the beer is brewed with ginger and sage. Ginger blends well with beer, and many brewers brew their take on ginger beers, but to add sage as well....I know Thornbridge are an innovative brewery but I think this is taking things a bit too far. I have tried it, and I don't think it quite works. The ginger is subtle, and not overpowering but the sage seems to be lost in the mix and the beer is not one of Thornbridge better efforts. (Incidentally, if you do make it to The Grove, the excellent Dark Star 'Seville' may still be on the bar, a beer I wrote about a few days ago).
Doing the rounds at the moment, and on the bar at The Star is Wentworth 'Chilli and Chocolate Stout'. Wentworth have previously done a range of stouts, presumably using the same base (at least they were all the same strength) with other flavours added. I have tried liquorice, vanilla, and chilli and I think chocolate orange may have also made an appearance. The previous chilli stout was subtle, with just a hint of chilli in the background. The new one, at 4.8%, certainly does not skimp on taste. A massive hit of dark chocolate, and an even bigger hit of chilli. It is one of those beers that divides opinion right down the middle, you love it or hate it. Yesterday, some raved about it and had a couple of pints, others tried it and binned it. You can guess which category I fell into! If your tastes are Bourneville chocolate and Scotch Bonnet then this is the beer for you.The best suggestion I heard though was to bottle it and marinade meat with it. Now there's a thought for dinner.

Most people anyway. Even if they don't admit it. I am super lazy. And when I had to find a Chiropractor. I was still super lazy. I like things to come to me.
Obviously, that's a terrible way to live life. It's actually the opposite of good advice people give you for success. So most of the time I force myself not to be lazy. But deep down I still am.
With all of that effort I put into not following my lazy instincts for the vast majority of my life. I welcome any opportunity to be extra sloth-like the rest of the time.
So, as much as I would like to say that I picked a professional to sort out my back pain because they were the best at what they do. And their expertise shone through. To be perfectly honest, I just couldn't be bothered to do that kind of research. So, while I'm happy that my Chiropractor does a good job and offers a great service. At the end of the day, I picked him because he came to me.
He didn't like literally knocked on my door and offer himself up to service me. That would be terrifying, creepy, and would probably put him in jail. I just mean he made himself easy to find.
Apparently, the fancy name for this is 'Chiropractic marketing'. But whatever it's called, all I know is that it involved minimal effort on my part to work out whether he was local, available, and good at what he does.
Just a quick trip to Google and I found a website with all of the information I needed, email, address, services etc. There were even reviews online so that I could see whether previous patients were happy or not. It made it really easy to research, and I didn't even have to move from the sofa. Which is my favourite kind of research.

A policy change will allow 10,000 suspended cardholders of Mid-Columbia Libraries to again check out books, DVDs and other materials.
The library district's board recently raised the level of outstanding fines and fees to $25 before a cardholder's lending privileges are suspended, a release said. The limit was previously set at $10.
Mid-Columbia Libraries will continue to send any accounts with fines and fees in excess of $25 to a collections agency for repayment.
Library officials said the policy change has no financial impact on Mid-Columbia Libraries' budget. Most cardholders who reached the previous $10 limit often just stopped visiting the library and didn't pay the owed fines and fees.
"Hopefully this gets them to re-engage with the library and eventually pay off the fines," said Davin Diaz, the library district's spokesperson.
The policy change was made in an effort to have an active library account tied to half of the households in the region by 2018.
Despite the change, 13,000 cardholders are still not allowed to check out materials because of unpaid fines and fees. The library district has nearly 155,000 cardholders in all.

Travel Kit
Travel kit helps you with packing and dealing with decitions what to take for a long or short term journey. Pack with ease. Do not struggle on a journey with your own straw, spoon and food box!
Travel budget is one of those things people tend to think first when they plan their journeys. It is good to know what you expect from planned travel and prepare before you go. While some people like to assign a bigger figure and don't like to keep on tight budget, most of us like to find reliable info about prices and predict travel expenses.
More and more people and big influencers start to talk that we are living 'disposable' lives. And in some way it is becoming true. Imagine when we are going on a picnic and we take all the plastic plates, knives and forks. Or we are so used to take away food or coffee and consume it on the go. We don't even think of this as a privilege consumerism act. All in all, almost all food comes in plastic packages. Today main question is how can we reduce waste anywhere in the world and encourage sustainable travel option.
Packing smart is essential for every global traveler. Especially when you are traveling longer than a week or two and you bring your gear with you. In this case you'll need to pack a nomad backpack. This guide will save you time, nerves and even money!

The origin of the up to 5,000-year-old collection was identified after a unique archaeological detective work.
The British Museum is returning to Iraq a collection of looted antiquities up to 5,000 years old, after identifying the exact temple they came from in a unique piece of archaeological detective work.
The eight objects will be handed to the Iraqi embassy on Friday during a private ceremony at the London-based museum from where they will return to Iraq.
The main items of the collection are three clay cones.
It also includes a polished, yellowish river pebble, a fragmentary white gypsum mace-head, a white marble amulet pendant in the form of a reclining bull or buffalo and a red marble square stamp seal or amulet depicting two similar animals facing in opposite directions.
Trail of crime
The items were confiscated by British police in May 2003, a few months after the US-led invasion of Iraq, from a now-defunct dealer in London who failed to provide any paperwork for them.
Normally the detailed provenance of such items would be hard to establish, but three of them, fired clay cones, carried Sumerian inscriptions that gave a clue to their origins.
In a remarkable coincidence, they were identical to cones found on a site in the ancient city of Girsu, now known as Tello, in southern Iraq, where the British Museum has been training Iraqi archaeologists since 2016.
"The broken objects the robbers left next to the looting holes were broken cones with exactly the same inscription that we have on the cones that were seized," said the team's lead archaeologist, Sebastien Rey.
Identical cones were also found in the walls of a site at the Eninnu temple - pinpointing the looted items' source with a level of accuracy that Rey said was "completely unique".
"We could have an idea that maybe these objects came from southern Iraq, but to be able to narrow it down to the particular site, and even to the particular holes - this is extremely rare," he told AFP news agency.
The marbles in the collection both date back to 3000 BC, whereas the cones are believed to be from about 2200 BC.
The identical cuneiform inscriptions on the cones reference the god the temple was built for and the king who built it.
Similar cones have been found in many other sites, but Rey said that until the Tello excavation began in 2016, no one really knew what they were for.
Finding them in their original positions inside temple walls led experts to conclude they were votive objects, dedicated to the gods by Mesopotamian kings.
'Exceptional efforts'
Iraq's ambassador to the United Kingdom, Salih Husain Ali, praised the museum's staff for their "exceptional efforts" in identifying the antiquities.
"Such collaboration between Iraq and the United Kingdom is vital for the preservation and the protection of the Iraqi heritage," he said in a statement issued by the museum.
"The protection of antiquities is an international responsibility and in Iraq, we aspire to the global cooperation to protect the heritage of Iraq and to restore its looted objects."

Nika Kupyrova has traversed Europe from East to West and back. Born in Ukraine and having grown up in Prague, she went on to study art in Edinburgh and Iceland. Now Nika lives and works in Vienna, and partly in Prague, creating installations and photographs of dream-like creatures and spaces. Currently, the young artist has an installation at the Windows Gallery in Vienna - the new art space of the Czech Center in Austria.
I visited the articulate and spirited artist in her Vienna studio and spoke to her about her work, life and the various art scenes she has been a part of. I began by asking her to describe her art and technical approach:
"I work a lot with found materials – old furniture, old objects – objects that come from our general surroundings, often household objects, things that you would probably recognize, but some of them you may be seeing for the first time. So I take the things that we know and put them together in a different way and try to bring out their hidden qualities and hidden associations.
"My recent inspiration has come from mythology and contemporary mythology. I've tried to re-create traditional mythological characters using contemporary materials and associations.
"In terms of technique, I combine photography and sculpture. I create sort of photo-sculptures. They are compositions created specifically to be photographed and they are taken apart after the photo shoot. So, the final artwork is a photograph. I also do sculpture and other types of objects. When I work with space, I like to create an all-around experience that allows you to walk in the space and build your own narrative with the hints that I leave around."
You now have an installation at the Windows Gallery in Vienna. Can you describe what it is about?
"Originally I created this work for another exhibition, but I usually create installations in such a way that they can be adapted to different places. The [Windows Gallery] space is very specific. It is kind of like a window display, but it is also closed from the back, so it creates a display cabinet of sorts that you see from the outside.
"The series, which is called Head Hunter, is made of small objects that are hanging from branches from the forest, which seem to be growing out of the wall. I was working here with mythology and the boundary between living and non-living and trying to create a new kind of being.
"The title of the series is a play on words, similar to the way that my sculptures are a play with objects. I tried to take this expression, which became quite contemporary, to mean a person who recruits people for jobs. But, at the same time, I look at the other meaning - as someone who actually hunts for heads.
"I took this word from its usual context and put it into a new context, and asked, who really is this headhunter? Is it a person? Is it a creature? And this led me to the creatures I created. They look a bit like heads, but it's really hard to say, because they don't necessary look like body parts, but more like simple creatures living their simple existence."
You're quite a world trotter. You've lived in Prague, in Edinburgh and now you're in Vienna. Tell us a bit about how you actually got here?
"I was born in Ukraine and my family moved to Prague when I was eight years old. And it was never the same as the place where I was born, I took it as just another place where I lived. And after living in Prague, I just kept going. I moved to Scotland, and I thought 'Why not? Why not go somewhere else?' I just got so used to it. After Scotland, I started exhibiting more and I had a show in Vienna. And I really liked it here and I met my boyfriend here as well. So I thought 'maybe this is a place where I would like to be for a while'. And I've been here since 2009."
Do you think the movements in your life – geographically and even culturally speaking – inform your art in any way?
"I think it does. Probably not in a way that has anything to do with specific countries. For me it is more about the experience of the traveler, who doesn't have a particular home. I kind of see this idea of home as a conservative idea of something permanent, that it is somewhere where you are born and where you live. But this concept adapts to the life of a traveler, who makes a home in different places.
"So, some of my work had to do with the living space and with how you make a new space into a home. Even when you move into a hotel room for a couple of days, you still put your coffee cup or your book in specific places, and you unpack your things and put them in the cupboard. So, you start to build up certain compositions around yourself and try to create a sort of comfort zone, even if it is temporary. This is the same process that you go through when you move into a flat. It's about building a habitat."
If we go back a little bit, you started talking about mythology and said that it plays a big role in your work. Given you diverse background, how do the different mythologies from the different places you have been to combine in your work?
"I guess my interest in mythology comes from this living space and from the experience of living in a lot of different places – flats, hotels, different countries, spaces and habits. And I came to see the living space as a sort of safer, more controllable version of the outdoors.
"We try to build it around ourselves in a way that makes us feel comfortable. At the same time, there are some elements which are symbolic of the outdoors. For example, we have the light on the ceiling – which is somewhat of a symbol of the light outdoors. We would feel uncomfortable without it, but at the same time we can turn it on and off, it won't burn us, it won't be too bright.
"And this brought me to the idea of mythology that we create. There are these elements that we create in the living space – light, water, heat – but even though they are much more controllable, they still make the shadows in the dark corners and the spaces under the bed and all those places that phobias and demons can hide."
You can also now compare the contemporary art scenes in the different cities you have lived and exhibited. How would you say the Vienna differs from Prague in this respect?
"I think when you come to Prague for the first time looking for contemporary art you probably won't find a lot, because it doesn't have such a prominent place there as it has in Vienna, for example. The average person on the street probably would not known anything about it. And when I came back to Prague for the first time after university, I had a feeling that it was all very slow there, all quite improvised.
"Now, I have a feeling that it's changing all the time. There are many new projects starting, new spaces are opening. I think in general Vienna has a similar type of cultural scene to the one in Prague. It is just that recently Vienna has become much more international; people come here for residencies, for travel, for projects and here I feel like I'm in a good place because eventually everyone will come here to visit. It's not yet like that in Prague, but it's getting there."
Have you had any shows recently in Prague?
"I always try to have some shows in Prague, because I am trying to get to know new people and stay a part of the scene there. Recently I had a show at the gallery of the National Technical Library, and there are a couple of other things coming up. Mostly I show in Vienna, but about a third of my exhibitions are in Prague."
Are you currently working on something new?
"I was just working on a new photography series, which was about the concept of the coat of arms. I tried to re-create the idea of the coat of arms with contemporary ingredients. It was quite fascinating for me to create these kinds of logos or brands for a family. It got me to think about a family as a political structure. Every family, big or small, has their intrigues, their backstabbing, etc.
"And I already have my next project planned out. It won't be a sculpture or a photograph, it will have to do with text art. The project is about fortune cookies. So it is perhaps a slightly new direction for my work. [The text in fortune cookies] have a very specific language to them. It has to apply to any person who may read it, but at the same time has to sound as if it was just about you. And I found that quite interesting. And I wonder if it would still work if it is presented in a different form, if it's not this secret message, without the element of taking it out of the personalized cookie.
"Text art is one of the themes I started working on at university, but I left it for a while, and now I would like to come back to it."

Ah, that's more like it! After a disappointing issue last month, "Wonder Woman" gets back on track with this issue. Leading this issue off, Gail Simone seems to be using Hippolyta as a surrogate to work through her own feelings of letting go of Diana as we revisit the night that Hippolyta calls upon the Amazons to ready their youngest for her foray into Man's World. The rest of the issue focuses on the attack of the Silver Serpent and the confrontation between Diana and her long-lost aunt.
Throughout the issue Nicola Scott delivers the most stunning, classic Wonder Woman I have seen in years. Fortunately for "Wonder Woman" readers, Scott gets to draw more of this issue than the previous. She gives Diana a hook for her lasso and bracelets that look natural enough to slide over Diana's hands. Diana here is lithe, but strong, beautiful, but athletic. Scott also has the ability — and uses it to great accomplishment — to draw a myriad of characters, body types, and expressions. Hippolyta has a resemblance to Diana, but is not a clone of her (or vice versa).
The colors within this issue add to the depth and reality of the artwork. Brad Anderson gives the characters texture — even their skin — without resorting to tired, overused Photoshop filters and pattern fills. Anderson's "digital inking" of Nicola Scott's work is obvious, however, as those pages feature thinner lines on the characters and lighter hues overall, but in this instance it works and very nicely bridges the gap between Scott and Fernando Dagnino. Dagnino's art is better assigned this issue as he renders the truth vision that is revealed on the other side of Diana's lasso. As I mentioned in a previous review, the two artists' styles are quite different, but to see them together only emphasizes the difference. Given a full issue of either, I am certain, would be more impactful, but all the same, "Wonder Woman" is shipping on a regular schedule, and it seems the sharing of art chores may be a direct result or contributor.
Scott's cover is classic, reviving the Lynda Carter twirl, but captured in a timeless manner, even though the coloring is certainly of a modern flair.
Simone has done a great job world-building over her time on "Wonder Woman," and sometimes the forest is lost for the trees, as I must admit happened last issue. This issue deepens the threat that I clamored for last issue, but also makes the previous issue feel more shallow. From here, however, with a new foe to face in combat, the story will surely be propelled to more exciting moments.

Marty, Guitar Hero, & the Earth Shakes
Three things really surprised me this week, all totally unrelated to each other.
1. Marty Brennaman calling Cubs fans the most obnoxious fans in the league? Marty, I have always thought you were one of the best, but come on! You have to admire the fans who sell out your stadium by travelling there to support their team on the road! Come on!
2. I played Guitar Hero for the first time this week. Fun stuff. Gift idea: I want the drummer version, whatever it is called.
3. We had a 5.2 Earthquake here in central Indiana this morning. Very odd. I awoke at 5:40 AM to feel the house shaking. At first I thought it was wind, then I realized that if that was wind, we were in trouble. Next I assumed someone in my family was shaking the bed. Then I realized what was happening. It woke all of us up except Tori. Very, very strange. I also felt an aftershock at 11:15 this morning.
This was my third earthquake. Felt one here in Indy back in the late 80s. Felt a bigger one (7.0) in Vegas during our first year there. It woke us in the middle of the night, and we could feel the wave rolling under us. Scary. I remember feeling motion sickness in my stomach from that one. We awoke thinking Tori (then still in a crib) was jumping up and down in her crib. Then we saw that she was still asleep, but the crib was still shaking.

Sarah Krom went from being interviewed for an internship at Cowan Gunteski & Co. to interviewing new intern candidates in a handful of years. She shared her views from both sides of the table in today's story.
There is something special about the Internship Program at Cowan Gunteski & Co. P.A. For the past two years, it has been run by the Young Professional Group, a committee of ambitious team members who are below the level of manager and under the age of 35. Prior to that, the in-charge person was a partner.
Empowering the Young Professionals with the Internship Program changed the foundation of the program. Since we are so much closer to the age of the interns, we can relate on a level of "buddy" more than "mentor." It is important to an intern who is nervous about entering their first "real world" experience, to make that transition with people to whom they can best relate. Because partners and managers are at a different stage of their lives and careers, they may not be as approachable or available when a question needs to be answered or advice is sought.
I personally feel that this one progressive move is changing the future of the firm, since a great deal of hiring is done through the Internship Program. From the perspective of a college student, it is much easier to approach a "20-something" team member than a partner who may be the same age as your dad. Cowan Gunteski & Company has allowed us to bridge the generation gap between management of the firm and its future leaders.
As a staff accountant who has been with the firm for less than two years, I cannot believe I am in the position that I hold today. Cowan Gunteski & Co. has entrusted me with interviewing and hiring the summer interns for the firm. When I sat across the conference room table from Bill McNamara, the partner–in-charge of the Internship Program in 2003, for my own interview, I never expected to be in his seat just three years later.
This responsibility has given me the opportunity to learn a great deal about the interview process. If I knew back in 2003 what I know now, the interview process would not have been so daunting. Although Career Services and professors coach eager college graduates on how to dress, act, speak and behave on interviews, they cannot ease the pressure of actually going on an interview. I invite all those anxiously seeking employment to breathe a sigh of relief—the people on the other side of the table are not the enemy.
In the past year I have interviewed more than 25 potential intern candidates. During each interview I would try to put myself in the candidate's shoes. Having been there myself only three years ago, I remember those nervous feelings as I went over each checklist item, just as I was taught in college: dark suit – black or navy (as a female I always struggled with a skirt or pants but have found that either are appropriate as long as you feel confident), bring a portfolio with an updated resume and review the company's Web site to have intelligent questions to ask the interviewer. On the way to the interview, I felt it was important to practice answering the basic questions: What are your strengths and weaknesses? What are your goals? What have you accomplished that shows leadership? With sweaty palms, stressing out about arriving on time and not saying "Uh" or "Um" too much—it could have been construed as torture.
I see students like that, when I walk into the waiting room to greet the candidate with a friendly smile. I notice as they rise to their feet, fumbling with their portfolio as they extend a hand to shake mine. Although I understand the old adage, "You only have one time to make a first impression," I promise you that the interviewers are rarely the hungry barracudas that you are anticipating.
In fact, I interview the intern candidates with a co-worker. We ask specific questions that were developed and designed to determine if your personality is a fit for the culture of our firm. At the intern level, there is a minimum level of prerequisites that are presumably met at college.
When I was being interviewed I feared the potential of a case study with required sample problems. In reality, as many of my mentors have taught me, at the intern level or even the entry level, the main focus on the candidate is personality.
I was completely off base when I was being interviewed by being more concerned with how intellectual my answers were and how professional I presented myself. At that time, I did not realize that the main goal of the interviewer is to find an individual with common sense and a good personality—accounting knowledge comes with experience and practice.
As an interviewer, it is more important for me to be able to have a positive and intelligent conversation with the candidate, to relate to them on a personal level. Being out of college for less than two years I feel like I am close enough to the position that the candidates are in that I can share in their collegiate issues, job searching ventures, and overall fears of starting a career.
At Cowan Gunteski & Co. we are a family, with emphasis on the work-life balance, including after-hours events such as golf leagues, baseball games, picnics, etc. Being able to relate to our team members is an important trait. Our firm also places significant emphasis on marketing and to have a personality that is comfortable and confident enough to develop opportunities, even at an entry level, is an extra special trait.
Interview candidates should not be worried about being scrutinized from their tie to their socks. We want to hire quality people who are personable, friendly, and intelligent. It is about fitting in with the firm's culture. I do not interview and hire accountants; I interview and hire my future associates and teammates.
Sarah Krom, CPA, Senior Accountant, was an intern with Cowan Gunteski & Co., P.A. for the two years prior to graduating summa cum laude from the Richard Stockton College of New Jersey in 2004. She provides audit and tax services to clients ranging from small closely held businesses to publicly traded companies in the manufacturing and distribution, professional services, construction and not-for-profit industries. In addition, she works closely with clients to establish realistic financial goals and the reporting systems to insure that they are on track to achieve those goals.


text: The Montgomery County, Maryland Department of Technology Services - Geographic Information Systems (DTS-GIS) team, in cooperation with the Department of Environmental Protection (DEP), developed an ArcView GIS-based Conservation Reserve Enhancement Program (CREP) application. The application provides the Montgomery County Soil Conservation District (SCD) the means to save a significant amount of time and makes the task of targeting eligible farms for CREP funding and marketing the CREP program to the farmland owners more efficient. The CREP application provides the ability to select the target farm by address or geographic location. In doing so, the application will start to process and analyze factors based on the geographical data associated with the target property, such as streams, wetlands, and soil rental rates. SCD staff need only click a button and then choose a property to obtain the attributes of the target property to realize if this property is a candidate for the CREP program. The geographic data presented in the CREP application reflects information downloaded daily, weekly, or quarterly by DTS-GIS.

"The people began to forget"
The big point of this entire chapter is found in the first two verses – "the people began to forget." How many times do I forget a wonderful, spiritual experience and I begin to err and sin. One of the many lessons I learned in Guatemala was with President Ramos. After a very spiritual interview, President Ramos identified the Spirit and then told me that whenever I have a spiritual experience, I must strive to keep the Spirit with me as long as possible. I've noticed before, too, that after a powerful spiritual experience, temptations and distractions come more quickly and often. I often remember thinking how temptations would come after an excellent missionary discussion or testimony meeting.
I imagine that the only way to keep the spirit with you is to work harder than before to have spiritual experiences. Soon enough, trials will come, which if approached with faith and a good attitude will make you stronger in the spirit. The only way to get through a trial is by prayer and faith. This whole process reminds me of that talk by Elder Maxwell in the June 1996 Ensign. I think I still have that article.
Another point is that after the Nephites began to forget, they also began to disbelieve. Satan had tricked them into thinking that men made all these signs and wonders. How often do I attribute the miracles of God to men? I believe that we sometimes think that we got an 'A' in a class or that we got the job, and we forget whose breath it is that gives us life. Other times we know that we could not have done a certain thing without the help of God, yet we take the credit.
Nephite Cycle
In this chapter we see the Nephites slip into their cycle once again. After the sign of Christ's birth (year 91), the Nephites repented and most of them were righteous. But in a matter of four years (year 95), the Nephites were "less and less astonished at a sign or wonder" (verse 1). Then in verse 2 it says "thus did Satan get possession of the hearts of the people again."
In verses 5-7 we read of the change in dating systems. It has been 100 years since the days of king Mosiah, 609 years since Lehi and left Jerusalem and 9 years since the sign of Christ's birth. The Nephites now reckon their time according to the sign of Christ's birth.
In year 13 there are many wars and contentions. The GR are very strong and threaten the destruction of the Nephites. The GR are so strong and wrecking so much havoc that the Nephites and Lamanites are "compelled" to fight them. In verse 12 it reads that they must fight the GR to defend their families, rights, religion, privileges, freedom and liberty. This sounds a lot like when Captain Moroni fought the Lamanites with his Standard of Liberty.
Gadianton Robbers and Terrorists
Another note about the Nephites and Lamanites taking up arms against the GR – I remember reading these verses about the GR as a missionary and high school student. I always wondered who the GR would be in our day and time. Then September 11, 2001 came and our eyes were opened. Now, there is no doubt in my mind who the modern day GR are. They are the terrorists who fight in the same manner as the GR did. Not as a nation with its armies, but as a bunch of thugs who are loosely organized, but great in number and insanity.
Now what I wonder about is when the day will come that the free people of the world will be threatened with destruction just as the Nephites were threatened with destruction (verse 19).

Sticky Money
In Australia, the commercial and broader value of co-operatives and mutuals can typically go unrecognised. To counter this, the BCCM in partnership with EY, and our members, Teachers Mutual Bank and The Barossa Co-op, conducted a research paper which sets out a framework to recognise, measure and report the total value created by these organisations. The research includes a case study from The Barossa Co-op — which outlines the substantial commercial value of co-operative and mutual businesses. Furthermore, it shows the broader value by the dollars of revenue generated by these businesses as it is recycled three or four times through the local economy and community, or as it is called in this paper, "Sticky Money".
BCCM commissioned the Sticky Money report to measure the total added value of co-operative and mutual businesses. The report was launched at the BCCM Leaders' Summit in Sydney on November 2014.
Australian co-operatives and mutuals can create substantial commercial value. They can also create broader value which is often not captured in financial disclosures, such as contributing to the well-being of individuals, the delivery of public services, building resilient communities, and thriving local economies.

Uddhava and the Gopis
Uddhava was a close devotee and a dear friend of Krishna, avatar and King of Dwarika. They had many close discussions and intense dialogues about the mysteries of the Self - as related in the Uddhava Gita. Uddhava, now very learned in all the scriptures, just could not fathom the relationship between Krishna and the gopis – the cowgirls of Vrindaban
Uddhava was plainly upset at the women's ignorance, weeping and crying over Krishna. They had known him for most of their lives; did they not know who they were dealing with? Why did they not follow the scriptures and learn about the self and the Ultimate Reality. He discussed his puzzlement about the gopis' attitudes with his Lord Krishna. Krishna listened carefully, sagely nodding his head and finally suggested that Uddhava should go to Vrindaban and 'teach' the gopis. Uddhava was very pleased and felt rather proud to have been entrusted with this task as the knowledgeable teacher.
So, off he set towards Vrindaban. The gopis received him gladly and all gathered around him as he began to teach the group, expounding his Vedantic wisdom.
"Oh Gopis, you are so attached to the person of Krishna, why do you not focus on his Divine nature, on the Godhead? You need to study the scriptures, the Vedas, the Upanishads to understand the nature of Krishna; you need to do sadhana, tapasya, etc, etc…"
Uddhava talked for one hour, all the gopis listened politely and with full attention. Uddhava waited for response, but all was quiet.
Finally he spoke and asked them: "So, did you understand what I was explaining, please, say something…"
One Gopi spoke up: Oh Uddhava, we heard what you said and all I can reply is this: Shyama (Krishna) dwells in my mind, my whole wealth is Shyama, all what I have is Shyama and every cell of my body is filled with Shyama. If Krishna represents the Supreme Godhead and he has taken every inch of my body, tell me oh learned Uddhava, where shall I put your knowledge?
Uddhava was no fool and humbled he bowed down to the gopis and left, going back to Krishna.
"Oh my Lord, why did you send me to teach the gopis? You knew all along how they feel and how they relate to you. No one can teach them; they not only know about your being, they are filled with you.
Well, Krishna replied: "Perhaps that is what was missing in your knowledge…"
Narada describes that that the human experience of love is only a spark of the divine love; when you do the things you like most you get pleasure and they are only the tiniest, minutest part of the divine bliss. Imagine, that when you are in love in your regular human life and you are prepared to give anything and everything for that love, then compare this to being immersed in the whole ananda, the total bliss – experiencing the totality of love.

My wife and I were out with another couple recently, and we were talking about ethnicity. We realized that if our friends had a daughter (half Jewish-half Irish) and we had a son (half Italian-half Jewish) who married, our grandchildren would be a mish-mash of cultures, practically deracinated and stripped of any real heritage.
That may be true, I said, thumping my chest, but they would have my name. What that name might be worth, in the face of eroding European ethnic identity, is precisely what Bill Tonelli sets out to discover in his sociological picaresque, "The Amazing Story of the Tonelli Family in America."
Mr. Tonelli received a mailbox pitch to buy a "burgundy leatherette-bound, gold embossed" book listing the roughly 350 Tonellis dispersed across some 22 states. Just how amazing you or I might find it that a Tonelli lives in Alaska or one is named Abner doesn't matter; Bill Tonelli was sufficiently amazed. He decided to mail them all detailed questionnaires, then conquer his longtime fear of driving to go on a cross-country trip and meet a few dozen of his nominal kin.

A great trip
Great Phi Phi Island Ferry Tour however it was about a 2.5 hour trip out to Phi Phi island. Not to sure why they call this 'express ferry' we had to catch 3 different boats just to get there! lunch was yummy and the tour guides were great. TIP – pack sea sick tablets it can get rough
Nice quiet beach
The ferry takes 1.5 hours and can be quite boring. Snorkeling is off Phi phi Long beach where you have lunch and swim for most of the day. Long boats can take you around if you want. A nice quiet beach where you can relax.
Great experience
A great experience. A beautiful area and I met some nice people on the tour
Terrific trip
Terrific Phi Phi Island Ferry Tour to a stunningly beautiful beach. When we got here, we realized we should have stayed several nights here…one day just isn't enough. Our time was pleasant, but it was a long trip for just a few hours on the beach. It was such a large group that went with us, we definitely didn't feel that it was a "tour" – really, it was more of a boat shuttle and a snorkeling mouthpiece/goggles. We couldn't understand a thing through the garbled loudspeaker that the captain was saying about the sights we passed, but they were definitely pretty. I think if you are interested in the Phi Phi islands (which are truly stunning), book a 2 or 3 day trip instead of this one-day Phi Phi Island Ferry Tour. I'm glad we did the Phi Phi Island Ferry Tour, but we definitely spend the majority of the time in transit (shuttle van or bus) rather than actually experiencing the islands.
Sea sick
Apart from being pretty sea sick on boat ride tour was good. but food was crap. only 1 hour aloud for snorkeling
